It's happened - Addie has cried her first tear. Now don't get me wrong, she's had her fair share of cries and screams (all of which sound extremely fake but oh so cute) but she has yet to actually shed that crocodile tear. She actually had a clogged tear duct because no tears have been coming out!!
I know this milestone shouldn't be one that makes a person happy but it's a sign of her growing up and all the miracles that happen in that process. To know a person isn't born with the ability to shed a tear, that it's something one acquires through development, is simply amazing to me. It speaks wonders of just how wonderful and complex life is.
Watching her grow is like watching a masterpiece being painted by Van Gogh - starts with a blank canvas and over time turns into something extraordinary. Everyday I wake up excited to see what new things she can do or how she has changed physically. BTW - her hair is finally growing despite her bald spot in the back of her head! Yay!!
Having a baby has made me appreciate and respect life in a new way. Being a mom has given me a purpose and a reason to be be alive. It's the most wonderful thing one could experience for sure. Craig better watch out - these feeling and the fact I've been faithfully watching the Duggars - we could end up with 20 little Matureys walking around. Even if we would be still having kids when we were 60!
